Over 2,000 of you subscribed to this Substack after I posted a single Note—a timeline of survival, kombucha, spiritual side quests, and ToddWithaY.
It went straight to my head. Haaaaa.
But seriously—I love you. Thank you.
If you missed it the first time, here’s your chance.
If you didn’t, maybe you’ll see something new.
So many of you saw yourselves in this.
It struck a nerve — but it wasn’t just a joke.
It was a mirror.
Of how we survive. How we grow. How we come back to ourselves.
This whole Substack is built on that rhythm —
not self-improvement, but self-return.
So here’s my gift to you.
If you upgrade to a paid subscription ($30/year), you’ll get an instant thank-you download:
12 Ways to Undermine Yourself (Before Breakfast)
A totally unserious survival manual for serious people.
It’s for you if you’ve ever:
Been told to be of service. So you offered detailed feedback—single-spaced.
Wept in the shower like it was church. Stayed there a week.
Mentor said, “Give it to God.” You said, “But how can God stand it?”
Rebuilt your life. Tore it down. Called it a growth cycle.
Or if you liked the viral note.

🎁 Your instant welcome email will include an exclusive Google Doc of 12 Ways…to keep, share, or tape to your bathroom mirror.
No paywall. No guilt trip. Just mutual delight.
This space will always have room for free readers.
But if my work makes you laugh, flinch, or feel seen — taking a turn and supporting it helps keep this fire burning.
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for being real.
And if you ever ghost someone named ToddWithaY, I support that decision fully.
Love,
I found you through that very relatable post and instantly loved you. Thanks for bringing fun and lightness to the all too heavy experience of trying to figure out what this life is about!
12 ways to undermine yourself before breakfast, this is brilliant. Well done, Kelley.
